Frequently asked questions

What is Levosert Shi used for?+
Levosert Shi is a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system indicated for long‑acting reversible contraception. It provides highly effective pregnancy prevention for up to three years and is also approved for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding.
How does levonorgestrel work in Levosert Shi?+
Levonorgestrel released from the intrauterine device binds to progesterone receptors in the endometrium, cervical mucus, and the hypothalamic‑pituitary axis. This suppresses ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and creates endometrial changes that prevent implantation, thereby achieving contraception.
What is the usual dose of Levosert Shi?+
Levosert Shi is supplied as a pre‑loaded intrauterine system. The prescribing clinician determines the appropriate device based on the patient’s needs; the system continuously releases a low dose of levonorgestrel over its approved duration without the need for daily dosing.
Is Levosert Shi safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Levosert Shi must not be inserted in a woman who is already pregnant, and it is contraindicated for use during pregnancy. For breastfeeding women, the device is generally considered compatible because systemic hormone levels are low, but clinicians should evaluate each case individually.
How do I order Levosert Shi from GNH USA?+
To order Levosert Shi, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Levosert Shi compare with other hormonal IUDs?+
Levosert Shi uses levonorgestrel, similar to other hormonal IUDs such as Mirena or Kyleena. Its release rate and approved duration (up to three years) are comparable, but specific dosing and size may differ, offering clinicians flexibility based on patient anatomy and contraceptive preferences.
How should Levosert Shi be stored and handled?+
Levosert Shi should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C, in its original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. The device must be handled only by trained healthcare professionals during insertion and removal to maintain sterility and device integrity.
How is Levosert Shi administered?+
Levosert Shi is inserted by a qualified healthcare provider into the uterine cavity using a specialized inserter. The procedure is performed in a clinical setting, typically within the first five days of the menstrual cycle, and requires a brief pelvic examination and ultrasound confirmation of placement.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levosert Shi?+
Serious risks, though rare, include uterine perforation during insertion, device expulsion or displacement, and pelvic inflammatory infection. Prompt recognition and management of these events are essential to maintain contraceptive efficacy and patient safety.
Who should not use Levosert Shi?+
Levosert Shi is contraindicated in women who are pregnant, have active pelvic infection, unexplained vaginal bleeding, known or suspected uterine anomalies, or a history of uterine perforation. It should also be avoided in patients with hypersensitivity to levonorgestrel or any component of the device.
